    Panic in Hingham, MA?

    Offers in late-April? Is LL worried that the exodus that started weeks ago within the 05 and 06 GA teams might continue? Worried that families are tired of the $4,000+ base tuition and 23 girl GA rosters?

    I think the whole thing is disgraceful. She's simply trying to trap these kids. Either you accept your offer by the end of the week or you get the side-eye and are ostracized by the rest of the team for the next 6 weeks until the end of the season - likely at the end of the bench?

    And, you know what, it's probably going to work. What girl/family - if they were considering a change - wants to deal with the awkwardness for that long?

      Nothing against Select, personally find them a tough club for us to play against. But, seeing the amount of negative posts against them they must be doing something right.

      Typically, if something is crap or not a worry to you, they are ignored. The daily barrage of posts tell me there must be something to get these posters worked up.

        Absolutely - if you think crushing spirits, embarrassing 10 year old girls and using scare tactics to hold onto players is "doing something right." Wish I had pulled my daughter sooner.

            Most clubs are trying to figure out who is returning next year so they can plan. Maybe a tad early but not that unusual.

                Back in the day they made you pay $1k for Berkshire camp in February (for the following August) to really lock you in.

                  Simple enough. Tell them the spring has just started and you need to see how the rest of the spring goes before committing. If your daughter is valued as a player, there'll always be a spot for her. If she's just a number/tuition, let's be honest, there will still probably be a spot for her.

                    This ^^^

                    Sometimes it's easy to forget that this is a service industry and we are the customer. So tired of these clubs trying to dictate the relationship in such draconian ways. Tell them you're not signing anything until later in the spring. If your daughter is good enough, the spot will be there. If you're daughter is on the margins, she's probably not getting enough playing time and you should be looking to move her anyway.

                      Not to mention when kids talk about their offer to teammates who might not have received one yet. Great for team camaraderie for the remainder of the season. Way to early to start trapping families in. Just tell them you're holding off for now.

                          Not a Select family but it is curious how you all who are also not Select families are so eager to pile on here.

                            It's recruiting season, so clubs send their minions out to bash other clubs. Happens every year.
